Aviation….what a life!

Name any other career in which a single individual is responsible for so many lives in such a dynamic ever-changing environment!  A pilot must navigate, manage weather, cope with maintenance issues, entertain passengers, fly in complex airspace and perform maneuvers and instrument procedures with little margin for error.   It takes discipline and dedication.  And, it takes training.  Tons of it!   Not crammed into a few days for a bargain basement price.  But, a solid set of skills.  Whether it’s a private plane with friends or family on board….or a commercial airliner loaded with hundreds of souls criss-crossing the continents, the burden of responsibility is staggering and borne alone by the pilot in command.  The moral of our story?
Get good training!  It’s as simple as that.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Wings of the West has recently sold its beautiful twin-engine Beech Duchess!

We are actively seeking a suitable replacement. Until a new state-of-the-art twin can join our fleet, we regret we are unable to offer multi-engine flight training.

Please check back for updates!
